🛠 Before you begin...

Make sure you’ve already set up your collection(s) in your Shopify admin.

🔄 Change the Default sorting for any collection

This sets the default sorting — customers can still change the sort order on the store page if you enable the corresponding setting.

Steps:

1. Go to Shopify Admin > Products > Collections.

2. Click on the collection you want to edit.

3. Scroll to the Products section.

4. Find the Sort dropdown and choose your preferred option:

   • Best selling

   • Product title A-Z

   • Price low to high

   • Newest

   • ...and more!

5. Click Save ✅

🔄 Change Sorting for the “All products” collection (/collections/all)

Shopify automatically creates a default "All Products" page at the path /collections/all

✏️ How to override /all and control sorting (if you have not had an All products collection in Shopify admin yet):

Steps:

1. Go to Shopify Admin > Products > Collections.

2. Click Create collection.

3. Name it something like All Products, All, etc.

4. Under Collection type, choose Automated.

   • Use a rule like: Product price is greater than $0 to include all products.

5. Scroll to Search engine listing preview and click Edit website SEO.

6. Change the URL handle to /all.

7. Scroll back and set the Sort order you prefer (e.g. newest, price low to high).

8. Hit Save 🧡

Shopify only allows one collection to use /all — make sure no other collection is using that handle.
